Chinese New Year begins next week and all across China people are getting ready. It’s a time for visiting friends and relatives. Throughout the country, people stock up on fruit to eat at home with family and to give as gifts. These days, Chinese shoppers are opening up their wallets for a particular luxury item — imported fruit.

Long the home of watery lagers, China is becoming a big, new market for craft brews. But thanks to red tape and government restrictions, it is foreign breweries instead of local beer makers who are filling the demand for China's beer lovers.

It's Chinese New Year, and millions and millions of Chinese are traveling home, and back, for the holiday. This year, Rebecca Kanthor and her Chinese husband are doing what more and more people in China are doing. They're driving home for the holiday.
